We are trying to migrate our test environment to 6.5 but are getting an error when we click the "Test Connection" button within Blue Prism's Connection Configuration screen. See attached image for the error. The Error details are at the bottom of this message.
Despite getting an error, we ARE able to log into the application and interact with the control room, with seemingly no problem. However the fact that the test reports an error is concerning and we are not moving forward until finding a proper resolution.
We did find out that if we we launch automate.exe as admin, the "Test Connection" DOES WORK. It is a mystery to us why running automate.exe with elevated privileges would change the result.Â
To further analyze the behavior of the connection I did a local install against a new local SQL Express DB and had the same results. And it happens whether we use SQL Authentication or Windows Auth.
Hoping someone has some insight into what might be going on here.
